The old couple asked where Zuo Ling's family had been over the years.

After cutting off the beginning and the end, Zuo Ling picked out what he could say.

The old couple were smart enough to know that it was impossible to tell them the truth, so they didn't ask any more questions.

The house was too small, and after a while the three kids started to make a fuss and wanted to leave, so the three siblings had no choice but to say goodbye and leave.

Professor Jin was very embarrassed:

"You guys spent a lot of money to come to my house, but I didn't even give you a sip of water to drink."

The big bag that Zuo Ling brought was placed casually on the ground. She didn't say what she brought, as if she didn't take anything.

The old couple thanked Zuo Ling for her thoughtfulness and consideration. They had been through a hard time over the years and really needed it, so they didn't bother to be polite with Zuo Ling.

"We are so familiar with each other, there is no need to be polite. Okay, don't see me off, don't see me off."

Xiao Hao walked away and looked back: "Grandma Tang, I will come to see you another day."

"well."

After receiving the news from his son, Researcher Tang's condition improved visibly.

"Please go back. Don't send me off. Go back."

Professor Jin hesitated to speak.

Knowing what he wanted to ask, Zuo Ling hesitated whether she should tell the truth.

"Did something happen to my eldest daughter-in-law and my eldest grandson?"

There were only the eldest and third children in the photo, without their daughter-in-law and grandson, so the old couple knew something had happened.

One was worried that the old man couldn't bear it, and the other was worried that his spouse was in poor health and couldn't stand the stimulation. Everyone just talked about the happy things and no one asked any more questions.

After leaving the house, Professor Jin couldn't help but finally asked.

Xiao Hao looked at the old man with concern.

After hesitating for a long time, Zuo Ling said:

"Yes, Jin Yan also...can't come back. The photo was taken before the accident."

Jin Yu and his team will have to return to the base sooner or later, so it would be better for the old man to be mentally prepared in advance.

Professor Jin's head buzzed. The old man thought that something had happened to his daughter-in-law and grandson, but he didn't expect that his eldest son was also gone.

His feet were staggering, and Zuo Ling quickly supported him and used her special power to protect his heart.

Xiao Hao was very worried about whether Grandpa Jin could bear it, so the siblings helped the old man sit down in an open space.

After a long pause, the old man's pale lips regained some color, and he tried hard to force out a smile that was uglier than crying:

"Thank you for telling me the truth. I was prepared, but I still had a glimmer of hope."

The old man sighed heavily, "Don't tell your aunt, let her be happy for a while."

He struggled to stand up, walked back with unsteady steps, raised his hand and waved weakly.

I watched the old man walk away. When he was almost at the door of his house, he stopped, rubbed his face a few times with his hands, straightened his waist, and when he stepped into the door of his house, his heavy steps suddenly became light.

“Sister, can Grandpa Jin bear it?”

"Yes, I can."

The old man was well-versed in the world and was stronger than they imagined. Without a strong heart, he would not have lived to this day.

The family of six walked slowly home, and the road was a beautiful sight to see both ways.

I am used to snowy nights and waterfalls, and when I am happy, I even say hello to people.

It is rare to see animals after the end of the world, and it is even rarer to see them all fat.

In addition, Zuo Ling's family's appearance is 99.99% better than others, and everyone is speculating about the family's identity and background.

Some people just called it cute, some swallowed their saliva, and some had bad intentions...

Envy, jealousy, hunger and coldness, psychological distortion, hatred of a family showing off in public, and so on.

Ah Si was very nervous along the way. Whenever someone approached, he would lean towards Zuo Ling's leg, his hair standing on end, and make warning sounds.

Zuo Ling did not comfort it. Ah Si is a wolf, and it is a good thing for him to be vigilant.

From a distance, they saw two people standing at the door of their house, and one of them was running towards them.

"Sister Zuo, where have you been? I've been waiting for you for a long time."

The other smiled and said hello.

"You should know this person, the current captain of the planting company, Qian Yu."

He Guiqi introduced.

"Hello, welcome back."

Qian Yu smiled and shook hands with Zuo Ling's family. It was not easy for him to be the captain of the planting company.

It has been several years since the end of the world, and it’s not just the weather that makes it impossible to grow crops and vegetables.

The most critical thing is that due to repeated losses, seeds are becoming increasingly scarce, and even if there are seeds, the survival rate is not high.

In this vicious cycle, a seed can be sold at a sky-high price of 20 grams of gold.

People asked him for food and supplies everywhere, but the leaders didn't care about the process, they only cared about the results. Unfortunately, he was a skilled cook who could not make a meal without the rice.

Hearing that Zuo Ling had returned was like a downpour after a long drought.

Zuo Ling didn't stay at the base for long, but those days were the most proud time for the planting company.

Qian Yu was eager to invite Zuo Ling, this talented man, to visit the plantation immediately.

"Hello."

Zuo Ling had a cold personality and deliberately kept a distance from others. He knew the people in the planting company by their faces, but could not call most of them by their names.

"Sister Zuo, each of your ID cards has an initial 20 contribution points."

The average person’s card only has 5 initial contribution points. Although the contribution points are not many, they can help newcomers get through the difficulties temporarily.

Zuo Ling's family's card was specially approved according to the expert treatment.

Everyone on the island needs to pay contribution points for supplies, such as fetching water, buying food, and using biogas.

"Thank you." Zuo Ling thanked with a smile.

Pointing to the two small bags of food, two bags of coal briquettes and a small coal stove at the door, He Guiqi said:

"The chief has given special approval. Look, he is so good to you. Sister Zuo, you can't leave anymore."

Coal stoves are worthless, but food and coal briquettes are very valuable.

Needless to say, the mountains and rivers collapsed, the coal mines collapsed, and mining coal was extremely difficult. The freight alone to transport the coal to the base was astronomical. Only the big bosses could use coal briquettes at home.

There isn’t much, but it’s enough for an average person to earn contribution points for half a year.

Zuo Ling smiled and said, "I won't take your things for nothing. Wait."

I went back to the house and took out two large bags of barley seeds.

Zuo Ling thought that barley grew at high altitudes and should be more durable than other grain crops, making it more suitable for planting in the current weather.

As the captain of a planting company, Qian Yu naturally knew how precious seeds were.

He Guiqi is no longer the rich young man who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun. As the deputy company commander of the planting company, he naturally has more responsibilities.

"Haha, I knew Sister Zuo would definitely have a surprise for us."

Qian Yu rubbed his hands excitedly: "That's great, that's great."

With these seeds, we can plant several more acres of land. After the harvest, we can at least double the amount and save seeds. Haha... there is hope for solving the food problem.

The more they thought about it, the more beautiful it became.

Knowing that they wanted to plant the seeds quickly, Zuo Ling did not keep them as guests. He gave them ten bottles of space water and sent them away happily.

Pei Nansheng and Xiao Hao were tidying up the container house. Zuo Ling was also busy. She dug two holes outside the yard, planted the breadfruit tree, and watered it with half a bottle of space water.

We have to thank Ning Qiang for the breadfruit seeds. If he hadn't sent us the breadfruit, Zuo Ling would not have remembered to keep the breadfruit seeds.

A base is not like an island. Whether it can survive depends on fate.

The container house has a toilet, but there is no water heater and you can't take a shower.

There are many people in the base, so after discussing it, the three siblings decided to keep everything simple and go to the space to solve the problem if necessary.

You need to insert a card to use electricity, and one contribution point is required for each kilowatt-hour of electricity. The electricity bill is shockingly expensive.

An average person only earns a dozen contribution points a month, and that's if he works every day. It's naturally impossible for him to spend the contribution points on electricity.

Therefore, at night, the entire base was lit up by only a few street lights on the main streets.

Zuo Ling was used to it and didn't pay much attention. After the brothers reminded him, he found that his home had become the glaring light in the darkness.

It was obviously not a good idea to display it in such a bright spot in front of everyone, so he quickly found some thick-colored cloth and made curtains to cover the windows tightly.

Turn on the light and observe from a distance. Make sure there is no light coming through from outside before you can use electricity with confidence.

Sigh, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. This is the price one must pay to integrate into human society.

After a good night's sleep, I was woken up by the wake-up call in the early morning.

I originally thought that they would have to be allowed to have a few days of relaxation before they could be received by the leaders.

As a result, just after finishing breakfast, Commander Mei’s orderly was waiting outside the door.

The vehicle that came to pick them up was a human-powered flatbed tricycle, and the orderly was the driver.

The three siblings and Guo Qi had the same reaction. They stared at the majestic tricycle in a daze for a long while.

The orderly was a bit like a modern Xiangzi. He pulled out a black towel, scraped the flatbed a few times, and said in a loud voice:

"Everyone... get in the car. I ride very steadily. The chief even praised me for riding my car. I promise to take you to your destination safely and securely."

Zuo Ling was very poor before the end of the world and had never ridden in such a high-end vehicle. He got on it with the mentality of trying something new.

The dog didn't wait for anyone to call him, but found a comfortable position to lie down.

Orderlies are rare:

"Your dog is interesting. It also rides in the car. Shouldn't it be running at the bottom?"

Zuo Ling didn't answer. The dog was unhappy and barked at him a few times. What's wrong? Are you looking down on me, Master Dog?

The orderly was so frightened by its ferocious appearance that he shrank his neck.

Zuo Ling was holding the waterfall, and Ah Si was the only one in the family who had some sense of propriety, so he ran along below.

Xiao Hao sat in the car at ease, his legs dangling, and he kept scolding the dog:

"Look at you, you're not even as good as Ah Si. Ah Si is more courageous than you. Look how well he runs..."

The dog couldn't stand it anymore, so he jumped out of the car, used his hind legs to run far away.
